Its

been a really wet week here in Delaware but not wet enough to remind me of things I like.The first picture is of Kurt Vonnegut the remarkable writer who was read by a lot of boomer's in the 1960s and 1970s.Its hard to explain his style but i would call it historically  telling. vonnegut wrote of real events and added sci fi to all of his books. He also came up with things like "so it goes".

 

That IBM thing is the flashy part of the old 360 mainframe that was the computer used by many large and some smaller corporations mostly in the 1960s and 1970s.

That was THE PC of those early times and was responsible for IBM domination of the market for years.

That looks like a photo of Leo Laport one of the people responsible for ending the IBM domination. Leo is closely associated with the PC and Mac which dethroned Big Blue maybe forever.

Finally we see The Xmen  a comic that I read.Nice guys.

Bye till later
